Bundy Militia Fed Incident Last Night?

Anyone else around here feel that this situation will mark the beginning of period in our history
in which the Right wing Extremists will put a target on the back of any State or Govt. law official no matter where they work or live...

I am really unsettled this a.m.

Just like there were a number of articles out there suggesting Isis was in Ferguson...

I have an idea... Why doesn't the left and the right stop trying to demonize people they don't understand?

He was driving intoxicated, carrying a concealed weapon. This guy threatened to kill all cops etc., everyone but the State Police. These folks are already running around this country feeding off of the venom in their own bloodstream. I agree that there is a problem,it just didn't start last night.

Is always going to have some. If this really disturbing, maybe turn your attention to groups doing positive things? Or just close your computer, go for a walk, chat with people, and just take it all in to restore balance.

They waited until they left the compound and stopped them on the road....It appears they learned a lot from the Waco "incident"...

9. The majority of the RW militia only do it for show and to impress

When asked to elevate the situation and follow through on their rhetoric they quickly back down. They are smart enough to know that it is a suicidal mission to mess with the Feds at any level. When the Feds want you for tax evasion, skipping bail, they will eventually get their man. Just look at Osama, he had whole countries supporting him and that did not help him.
